Yngvik
Compostable plastic made using food waste.
YNGVIK is at the forefront of sustainable materials, transforming food waste into compostable bioplastics. The company addresses the dual challenges of plastic pollution and biodiversity loss by creating a novel polymer, CAL, through precision fermentation. This process not only utilizes food waste but also avoids the environmental pitfalls of traditional bioplastics, which often compete with food production. YNGVIK's CAL polymer is versatile, available as a thin film and an adhesive, both of which degrade naturally in water and are compostable at home and industrially. The company primarily serves plastic converters who face increasing regulatory pressures to reduce plastic waste. By offering a sustainable alternative, YNGVIK helps mitigate serious environmental issues, including ocean and land pollution. The business model focuses on providing eco-friendly solutions to industries seeking to comply with environmental regulations while contributing to a waste-free world.
